Chapter 294 - 301 Foodie
Li Yifei held only one plate in his hand, which he carried with his left, while his other hand leisurely picked up a big conch and placed it onto the plate, which already had more than ten crabs and several conchs stacked up to the height of a small forearm.
Not showing any signs of stopping, Li Yifei then placed about ten clams on top of the conchs before he finally paused, turning his head to Su Yiyi and asking, "Is this enough for us to eat now?"
"Plenty, plenty," Su Yiyi nodded repeatedly, her excitement and agitation evident, along with a slight embarrassment.
If this were a fancy hotel or similar establishment, Li Yifei’s behavior would be considered hoarding and would likely invite ridicule. But in a self-service restaurant, it wouldn’t be laughed at; instead, it would cause envy and admiration. Others might go back several times and still not gather as much in one go as he did; he was truly a weapon of mass consumption in the buffet.
"Are you sure it won’t fall off?" Everyone watched Li Yifei stop and their gazes remained fixed on him, doubting he could safely transport all that food to the dining area without incident.
Song Xiaoli, Xiao Ning, and Su Yiyi all shared this concern. In a buffet, any careless spillage on the floor would lead to a fine, a measure to deter overambitious guests from taking more than they could handle, which could result in significant waste.
The waitstaff also followed over, stunned by Li Yifei’s food stacking. They had never seen anyone in all their time working there take so much in one go.
Knowing the restaurant’s rules, Su Yiyi, Song Xiaoli, and Xiao Ning were not only excited but also very worried. Su Yiyi, nervous, moved to Li Yifei’s left, cautiously saying, "Brother Li, this... it won’t fall, right?"
Li Yifei turned his head to look at Su Yiyi, frightening her so much her heart almost leapt out. She hastily said, "Brother Li, don’t look at me."
Xiao Ning and Song Xiaoli quickly stretched out their hands, guarding Li Yifei’s plate from both sides, anxiously saying, "Be very careful. If it falls to the ground, that’s going to cost us."
